Isaar is a small unincorporated community in the Town of Seymour in Outagamie County, United States, about 10 miles from Green Bay. Isaar has the same zip code as Seymour and its schools are part of the Seymour Community School District.
Isaar was founded in 1867 by immigrants from Bavaria who settled there as part of the Homestead Act. The town was named by the new settlers after the Isar River in their homeland. Isaar became known for its St. Sebastian Catholic Church, although in September 2007 the last resident priest left Isaar.
Isaar is home to a number of clubs, such as the snowmobile club, called the Isaar Trail Riders, and the Isaar Booster Club. The downtown area of Isaar is located at the intersection of County Hwy VV and Isaar Road. Isaar has always been known as a small farming community and continues this tradition today. Today Isaar has a tavern/restaurant, a construction company, a food processing plant, and a nursery, as well as few other businesses within its business district.
County Highway VV, running east-west, is the main road that connects Isaar to other larger state highways. During the winter months there are also multiple snowmobile trails that go though the community.
Isaar is located at 44°34′18″N 88°17′04″W / 44.57167°N 88.28444°W (44.57167, -88.28444), at an elevation of 830 feet.
The land around Isaar is flat and very fertile, which is excellent for the cabbage and corn grown in the area. There are multiple creeks that run through the area, often man-made creeks to prevent flooding and to keep the run-off from damaging the fields.
